DETROIT (AP) — An inmate who eluded police for 14 hours after stabbing a sheriff’s deputy with a comb and escaping a Detroit courthouse in the deputy’s uniform has been arraigned on attempted murder and other charges.

Authorities say that 63-year-old Wayne County Deputy Harrison Tolliver was stabbed in the neck about 8 a.m. Monday with the sharpened end of a plastic comb while taking off Pearson’s handcuffs in a courtroom holding area.

Pearson fled and hid in a vacant house as officers scoured Detroit for him.
